LABEL.

SPECIFIOATIONforming part of Letters Patent No. 492,611, dated February28, 1893. Application filed April 4,1892. Serial No. 427, N mo l- To allwhom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HALSEY J. TIBBALs, a citizen of the United States,residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of.

Pennsylvania, have invented a new and usef ul Improvement in AdvertisingDevices, which improvement is fully set forth in the followingspecification and accompanying drawings.

Myinvention consists of an advertising device for a bottle or similartransparent vessel adapted to be seen through the bottle and itscontents. For this purpose I utilize the back of the label of the bottleas ameans for containing an advertisement so that the same may be seenfrom the side of the bottle opposite to the face proper of said label.

Figures 1 and 2 represent views of opposite sides of a bottle having myadvertising device applied thereto.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the twofigures.

Referring to the drawings: A designates a glass bottle of usualconstruction, and B designates a label on the face thereof. On thereverse side or back of said label which is of such character as not toshow through the same, the printed matter on either side is printed orotherwise marked an advertisement such as 0, whereby while the faceofthe label may be opposite to the person looking at the bottle, theadvertisement 0 is apparent through the bottle and its contents, thusdirecting attention to the same, while the outer face of the label maynot be noticeable.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A label of non-transparent material having advertisements on bothsides thereof, and adapted to be secured to the side of a bottle, incombination with said bottle, the latterbeing formed of transparentmaterial, substantially as described.

2. A transparent bottle having secured thereto a label with advertisingmatter on the back thereof, the material of the label being of a naturethat the matter of one side may not be apparent at the other side,substantially as described.
